The McCarthy mansion was silent when Elizabeth and Julian returned that evening. The car had come to a slow halt in the driveway, but neither of them said a word.

Elizabeth stepped out first, her face was stiff, her lips pressed tightly together. The butler at the door opened his mouth to greet her, but the fire in her eyes silenced him instantly. Without so much as a glance at her parents, who were seated in the living room, Elizabeth walked past quickly.

“Elizabeth?” Mrs. McCarthy called after her in surprise, rising from her seat. “Darling, what is it? Why do you look like that?”

Elizabeth didn’t answer. Her shoulders were stiff, her chest heaving in suppressed rage. Her father, Mr. McCarthy, exchanged a troubled look with his wife before standing as well. “Elizabeth!” he barked, his voice was strong but still showed his worry. “Where are you going? What happened?”

But Elizabeth didn’t stop. She ascended the stairs, without even sparing them one glance and no word left her mouth. J

    Mr. McCarthy lowered his phone slowly, his brows drawn together in frustration. He pressed the phone to the table with a heavy hand, exhaling sharply. His wife, sitting across from him in her robe, instantly leaned forward.“What is it?” Mrs. McCarthy asked, her voice was filled with concern. “What did Collins say? Don’t tell me Ryan still managed to slip away again.”Mr. McCarthy’s lips tightened, and he finally nodded. His voice was low, almost growling. “That stubborn fool… Collins did his part. He fabricated the reports perfectly, planted the evidence, even presented it to him face to face. But Ryan still refused to comply. Can you believe it? Even with proof staring him in the face, he had the audacity to sit there and say he would fight in court. He told Collins he would win. He doesn’t tremble, he doesn’t break. He defies me at every turn.”Mrs. McCarthy’s eyes flashed with anger. She gripped the edge of the sofa tightly, her knuckles clenching. “That man… that wretched Ryan Wa

    The room was silent for a long moment after Ryan’s last words. Mr. Collins, who had been staring at Ryan with narrowed eyes, finally stood up slowly.Collins adjusted the cuffs of his expensive suit, gave Ryan one last calculating look, and then turned his attention to Detective Mark.“Detective Mark, I trust you know what to do. You can keep Mr. Walker here, question him, hold him in custody for as long as the law permits. Press him, investigate him, but don’t release him until you are satisfied. I have somewhere I need to be.”Mark’s brows lifted slightly, but he gave a curt nod. “Fine, Mr. Collins. I’ll handle it.”Ryan sat still, refusing to flinch under Collins’ words. His arms rested on the desk, his fingers steepled together. He watched Collins as the man smirked at him before turning away.Collins walked slowly toward the door. At the doorway, he paused, looking back at Ryan. “Think carefully about the path you’ve chosen, Mr. Walker. Courtrooms are not built on truth; they’re

    “Mr. Collins,” Ryan said slowly, “I think you misunderstand something about me. I didn’t go through all the stress, humiliation, and pain of taking over McCarthy Technologies just to hand it over to another man because of baseless accusations. That company was not some trophy I picked up for display. I fought for it, I endured for it, and I bought it fair and square to teach the McCarthys a lesson. It is not meant to be tossed around like a bargaining chip at your convenience. Do you understand me?”Collins smirked and leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on the desk. His voice carried a mocking tone, like someone who thought he already had the upper hand. “Oh, I understand you very well, Mr. Walker. You’re a proud man. You’re bold. But pride does not erase evidence. Pride does not change the fact that we have records of transactions traced to your email and your accounts. If you do not comply with what I have suggested, then I’m afraid this matter will have to be dragged befor

    Ryan walked beside Detective Mark... Behind them trailed the manager of Prime Line, Mr. Collins Cole.Detective Mark gestured towards a seat and his eyes darted to Ryan.“Mr. Walker, please, sit down. You too, Mr. Collins. Let us go through this matter in detail. The faster we address this, the better for everyone involved.”Ryan lowered himself into the hard wooden chair, his gaze never leaving Collins. Claudia’s worried face still lingered in his mind, but he forced himself to stay composed.Detective Mark pulled a brown folder from his desk and opened it. He slid several sheets of paper across to Ryan.“Take a look at these,” Mark said, leaning back in his chair. “These are records of transactions and email communications. Read through them carefully. They detail the communication between you and one of Prime Line’s employees, a man named Josh. According to Mr. Collins, Josh was working for you, funneling money from Prime Line into your hands.”Ryan’s brows furrowed as he reached

    “Detective Mark,” Ryan began calmly, “I have no hand in what this man is accusing me of. Do you hear me? None. This is the very first time I am even hearing the name Prime Line. I have never heard of this company in my entire life, let alone touched its money. This is absurd.”The suited man smiled faintly, as though Ryan’s protest amused him rather than shook him. His tone was calm, almost too calm, like a man who believed he held all the cards.“Mr. Walker,” he said slowly, “allow me to introduce myself. My name is Collin Cole. I am the manager of Prime Line Company, and I do not speak carelessly. The accusations you hear tonight are not empty. They are based on reports, evidence, and patterns we have tracked carefully over time. You were using the stolen funds to invest in your new company, McCarthy Technology.”Ryan’s brows furrowed deeper. “Evidence? Reports? What are you talking about?”Collin Cole’s eyes were fixed on Ryan as he stepped forward. “A staff of ours, someone very

    Before Claudia could react, Bobby angrily growled “You tricked me!” Claudia was about to say she also wasn't aware that Ryan followed her, but her words died in her mouth from the hit.SLAP!! The instant Bobby slapped her, Ryan grabbed a broken log from the doorframe and struck Bobby's chin.He gave Bobby no time to recover.The blow smashed across Bobby’s jaw over and over again, blood flying as he collapsed to his knees, dazed. “Ryan, no… please!” Claudia cried, but her words couldn’t reach him.He raised the log of wood again and slammed it down across Bobby’s shoulder. Bobby screamed, clutching himself, but Ryan was relentless. He struck him again across the face, then again across his ribs, each blow landing with a sound of wood meeting flesh. Bobby’s cries filled the room as blood poured from cuts on his face and his body crumpled under the beating.“You touched her!” Ryan roared, his voice trembling from the uncontrollable wrath. “You dared to lay your filthy hands on her!
